He didn't know if Gu Dong Cheng was doing it intentionally or not, but she would always run into him when picking up children in kindergarten. After a few times, she would naturally invite Yu Huan to her house for dinner.
Since Yu Huan couldn't refuse, she could only bring Xiaolong with her to Gu Dongcheng's home. Her heart hadn't changed much, but she still felt a little awkward when she first met her.
They chatted with each other for an entire night, and by the time Ye Zichen sent her back, the sky was already completely dark.
Xiao Long fell asleep in Yu Huan's embrace. She gently hugged Xiao Xiaolong, but there were no emotions in her eyes.
”Do you think it's quite dramatic?” Gu Dongcheng suddenly asked with a faint smile in his voice.
Of course, Yu Huan knew what he meant. Five years ago, they were still quarreling with each other. After five years, they were actually able to calmly sit at the same table and eat and even chat.
”Yeah, time has changed a lot, but I really have to thank you for the past few days. At the very least, we have become mature.” Yu Huan smiled and leaned against the seat.
Gu Dongcheng didn't speak as he quietly drove, but the melancholy in his eyes didn't diminish. It was unknown what his pitch-black eyes were thinking.
Once they reached the outskirts of the district, Yu Huan got off the car. After bidding farewell to Gu Dong Cheng, she headed home with the sleepy and befuddled Xiaolong in her arms.
She had only taken two steps when she saw a shadow standing not far from her. It was orange in color, and he was smoking.
Yu Huan's heart rose and she pretended not to see it as she lowered her head and walked away.
However, the closer they got, the more she felt depressed.
Just as he was about to pass by her, he suddenly appeared in front of her. The heavy smell of smoke floated in the air between the two of them.
”Where did he go?” The voice was cold and emotionless.
Yu Huan tried to pretend that she didn't know him and continued to walk forward.
”Who did you take my son to see?”
The cold words made Yu Huan's breathing stagnate. Her steps paused as she looked incredulously at the man in the darkness. She couldn't see his face clearly, but the familiar outline and the familiar smell on his body made her feel as though she didn't know him.
Yu Huan took in a deep breath, unable to recover from the shock. She didn't expect Chu Yufeng to actually know about Xiaolong's existence.
”What is it? You are surprised? ” He stepped forward and looked quietly at the two of them.
Xiao Long rubbed his eyes and muttered, ”Mama, who is he?”
”Xiaolong, I'm your father.”
”What nonsense are you talking about!” ”Stop!” Yu Huan yelled out coldly, her eyes filled with panic.
There was a cold snort in the darkness, as if to mock her uneasiness.
”Yu Huan, are you still going to hide this from me?”
”I didn't hide anything from you, so please don't lie to me either.” Yu Huan's restless heart was beating wildly. She held onto Xiao Long's arm tightly.
She could almost imagine that if she admitted that Xiaolong was his son, Chu Yufeng would unceremoniously snatch him away from her in the next second.
She definitely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
”Uncle, Xiaolong has dung.” Xiao Long did not seem to notice the conflict between the two and explained in a childish voice.
Chu Yufeng then shifted his gaze to Xiaolong. His small, fleshy face, big round eyes, and exquisite facial features resembled those of his childhood.
Therefore, even if he found out that the date of birth was not the same as his, he firmly believed that Xiaolong was his son.
”Uncle is indeed Xiao Long's …”
”Chu Yufeng!” However, his tone was full of threat.
”Scared? Since you say that he is not my son, what are you afraid of? Worried about what? Afraid that I'll snatch him away? ” Chu Yufeng sneered.
Yu Huan felt her entire body turning ice-cold as cold sweat dripped down her back. She had never expected Chu Yufeng to see Xiao Long in such a situation.
She still hadn't dodged the attack, and Chu Yufeng had obviously investigated about Xiao Long long ago. Otherwise, how could he have claimed that Xiao Long was his son so easily?
”Chu Yufeng, can you not be so bored?” She took a deep breath, determination in her eyes.
”Am I bored? Yu Huan, tell me, how many times have you lied to me? You little liar. ”
”You're not allowed to talk about me like that.” Xiao Long looked at him in dissatisfaction. Even Xiao Chen could sense that Chu Yufeng and Yu Huan were arguing and was indignantly protecting them.
”Put him back in the house. We'll talk when we get down.” Chu Yufeng sucked in a breath of smoke, his eyes filled with impatience.
Yu Huan heaved a sigh of relief before hurriedly heading upstairs.
”Yu Huan, you can try not to come down.”
The threat caused Yu Huan to halt her steps. Indeed, she had no intention of continuing. She took a deep breath and quickly left.
She lingered at home for half an hour before he descended. Chu Yufeng was still standing at his original spot. He lit up another cigarette. In the darkness, his depressed and helpless expression could be seen.
”I want to hear your answer.”
